Experience the magic of Christmas in Chehalis!
Santa is a busy man during the holidays, but he always makes time to listen to holiday wishes! Here are some of the places you can find him during the holiday season.
Experience Chehalis is delighted to share the holiday spirit with its annual “Letters to Santa” program. Special Santa Mailboxes will be ready and waiting for children’s letters at local Chehalis businesses each year. Kids of all ages are invited to drop off their wish-filled notes to Santa Claus and take part in this cheerful downtown tradition.
Each year your favorite local businesses face off in a battle of holiday cheer to see who will come out on top! Only the most festive will win, so get that cocoa brewing and pop in a candy cane or two, and let’s see who has gingerbread in their veins.
Kick off the holiday season with the 76th Annual Santa Parade and Tree Lighting. Watch the parade, then stop by the Lewis County Historic Museum afterwards for a cup of cocoa, carols, and holiday magic. Santa will be on hand to hear holiday wishes and help with our annual tree lighting ceremony.
Visit the Chehalis Gingerbread House at the corner of 13th Street and Market Boulevard on the Chehalis Community Services campus and experience one of the community’s most beloved holiday traditions. This larger-than-life display is the perfect stop for families, offering festive photo opportunities and plenty of holiday cheer. Swing by, snap a picture, and enjoy a little extra magic this season!
Discover great savings during the holiday season with the Chehalis Holiday Coupon Books, featuring exclusive deals on dining, shopping, and more at locally owned Chehalis businesses.
